News Flash!Tuesday, February 19, 2008on the night of the 97% waxing gibbous Moon

Brave little i-SOBOT robot space-walks along the main tube optics array
of the IST to make adjustments to the ocular section of his space telescope.

A mechanical camera clamp allows i-SOBOT to have foot-holds during work,
as he removes the ocular assembly from the eyepiece holder.

I believe this is the first humanoid astronomer to space walk along the tube
of a space telescope to initiate an autonomous repair.

Some records set during this event:1) First humanoid astronomer2) Smallest humanoid astronomer3) First humanoid telescope repair4) First humanoid space walk along a telescope5) First humanoid scientist to adjust a telescope ocular6) First humanoid programs created to accomplish 1 through 5
